Welcome to the Age of Darkness – Traitors (AoD-T) Outpost. AoD-T belongs to the “Age of Darkness” Faction (AoD). Here is the home for those Horus Heresy fans of a Traitor inclination.

HERE IS WHERE YOU MUST POST YOUR VOWS

Here you must also post your “before” and “after” pics of your vows as well as any WIP you may want to share. You may also use this thread to discuss the progress of the event with your fellow participants, exchange ideas, offer and receive modelling/painting advice and generally have some ETL–related fun!

You can vow any Units from all official Black and Red books or PDFs (even experimental) – provided the points are taken from the latest version.

IMPORTANT NOTE: THE COLOURS OR LOYALTY AND TREACHERY
The only limitation is that participants of the AoD-T Outpost cannot choose units explicitly labelled “Loyalist”. Other than that, there is no restriction. You can paint whatever Legion or other HH sub-faction you like provided you respect the condition above.

IMPORTANT NOTE: TITANS ARE TITANS
It is a fact that the AoD Faction will suffer from a discount in points vs. 40k for similar units. This is not viewed as an overwhelming handicap in general, but we believe it is especially unfair for Titans. As such, for Titans and Titans only, the AoD faction will be using the 40k points, i.e.

Warhound: 2,000pts

Reaver: 4,000pts

Warlord: 6,000pts

IMPORTANT NOTE: ALWAYS USE THE LATEST PUBLICATION TO SELECT AND PRICE YOUR UNITS

This means that if there is an update of any Red book or a new Black book that revises pre-existing units during the life of the event, then all vows made AFTER the release of the updated book must be priced according to the new book. Also, any official PDF releases relevant to Horus Heresy are also admissible (even if experimental) until an official publication that contains them is released.

Before you post you vow make sure you familiarise yourself with the ETL VI rules. You can find a link to the ETL VI rules below:

A Warhound - whaaaat????

OK, a strong start BUT the loyalists already have 9 participants... If the loyalists come ahead of you that will not only be a source of eternal shame - it'll also be inexplicable... How would that be possible? So get as many new recruits, because large vows are welcome, but numbers win ETLs...

Well I started painting today, for the first time in nearly a decade. Turns out I'm just as bad a painter now as I was when I was a teenager I was kind of hoping I might have somehow miraculously gotten better with age

thin your paints they say. also take it ease and don't try too many new things at once.

You think you need help? Just post some images, there might be people here who can give some hints. I'd say keep the general theme simple, you can add all the fancy stuff when you think the vow is more or less complete / tabletop-ready.

Wow! Some amazing stuff here... but let me give you some insight:

You have exactly half the participants compared to the Loyalists and roughly half the points (a bit more actually with your avg. vow at 960pts vs. 887of the Loyalists). I really thought it would be the other way around.

Be that as it may, it's still early days and there is plenty of time to get more to your cause.
